Hi Bill,

I work for Vodafone and am sorry to hear of the difficulties you've
been having. If you still have problems I'd suggest you go to
www.vodafone.co.uk, select 'contact us' then 'email'. If you include
your relevant account details and type the short-code FIT135 in the
body of your email this code will automatically direct your question to
a member of our online email team who'll be able to chase this matter
up with Vodafone's porting department.

This way I hope our staff will finally be able to sort this out for
you. Again I'm sorry to hear that this has taken so long to sort out.
